My Christmas Card From Bernie Ellis - DUer Fly By Night - (posted with his permission)

[Ghost in the Machine]

Beautiful, huh? This is Bernie's cabin, from the "Save Bernie's Farm" movement from a while back. He gave me permission to take a picture of it and post it in this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2519662

Enjoy your freedom & your home, Bernie!

PEACE!

Ghost

1. very nice and i'm glad to hear he's still in his home

i had never heard the outcome, probably didn't have internet access at the time, so i'm pleased to hear this

on a side note --
i wonder if you know how this picture was created, was it a photo or a painting, i'm curious because i've tried to use photoshop to make "paintings" and i'm still struggling to do what this one does so effortlessly

2. If I'm not mistaken, it's a print of a painting...

I tweaked it a little bit in paintshop pro to get the light from my flash off of it. I just tweaked the lighting and contrast... didn't really know what I was doing, but I figured it out.

Here's the original without cropping or enhancements:

Bernie is a mensch.
